Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Panama immigration costs generally combine one or more government fees paid to the National Treasury with a repatriation deposit paid to SNM, on top of any lawyer's professional fees. The amounts differ significantly between categories - for example the Qualified Investor Visa carries much higher government fees than the Pensionado visa.

Because published figures change by decree and vary by category, applicants should confirm the current fees and repatriation deposit directly with SNM or a licensed lawyer before applying.
